Fuel economy is depe
ndent on many factors.
Your personal driving habits can have a sig- nificant effect on your
fuel consumption.
Several recommendations
for achieving the
greatest fuel economy are listed below.  Whenever accelerating from a stop, always accelerate
slowly and smoothly.
 When parked for even a short period, do not idle the engine. Shut it off. Plan your trips to avoid unnecessary stops.  Keep your tires inflated to the recom- mended pressures.  For freeway driving, maintain a speed of approximately 50 mph (80 km/h) whentraffic, roadway and weather conditions safely permit.  Keep your air filter clean and your vehicle lubricated according
to the recommenda-
tions in this manual.  Always keep your ve
hicle well main-
tained. A poorly maintained engine wastes fuel and costs money.  Never overload your vehicle.
N00628900049
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impairedeven with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or use public transportation. Drinking coffee or tak- ing a cold shower will not make you sober. Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs affect your alertness, perception andreaction time. Consu
lt with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the influence of any of these medications.

The original equipment floor mat providedwith your vehicle was specifically designed for your vehicle. Al
ways properly position
the floor mat and assure it does not interferewith operation of the pedals. Always use the
retaining clip on the driver’s floorboard to secure the floor mat. When used, this clip willhelp prevent the floor mat from moving for- ward and possibly interfering with the opera- tion of the pedals. To prevent the floor matfrom moving forward and possibly interfering with the operation of the pedals, Mitsubishi Motors Genuine floor mats are recom-mended.
N00628701099
1. Place the floor mat to fit the shape of the floorboard. 2. Align the floor mat with the installationholes over the retaining clips. 3. Secure the floor mat with retaining clips.

 Manual transaxle can be harder to shift in cold weather conditions. This is normaland shifting will get ea
sier as the transaxle

All parts of the brake system are critical to safety. Have the vehicle serviced by an autho- rized Mitsubishi Motors dealer or a repairfacility of your choice at regular intervals according to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL”. Check the brake system while driving at a low speed immediately
after starting, espe-
cially when the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally.A film of water can be formed on the brake discs or brake drums, and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy rain or throughlarge puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brakepedal. On snowy roads, ice can form on the braking system, making the brak
es less effective.
While driving in such conditions, pay closeattention to surrounding
vehicles and to the
condition of the road surface. From time to time, lightly depress the brake pedal andcheck how effective the brakes are. It is important to take
advantage of the engine
braking by downshifting while driving on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the brakes from overheating.
N00629601372
When parking on a hill, set the parking brake, and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill, or away from the curb on an uphill.If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels. Place the gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse) position when parking on a down- hill slope, into the 1st position when parking on an uphill slope. Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set when parked and that the selector lever is in the “P” (PARK) position. When parking on a hill, it is important to setthe parking brake before
moving the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position. This pre- vents loading the parking brake against the

 Make sure that the weight of luggage and the roof carrier do not exceed the maxi-mum roof load, 110 lb (50 kg). If the maxi-mum roof load is ex
ceeded, this could
cause damage to the ve
hicle or result in an
accident. The total weight of all occupants and lug- gage, including your r
oof load, must not
exceed the vehicle capacity weight. For more information, refer to “Tire and load- ing information placard” on page 11-3. Roof load is determined by adding the weight of the roof
carrier and the weight
of the luggage placed
on the roof carrier.
CAUTIONDo not load luggage directly onto the roof. Use a roof carrier that properly fits your vehicle. For installation, refer to the instruction man-ual provided with the roof carrier. Place the luggage on the carrier so that its weight is distri
buted evenly with the heaviest
items on the bottom. Do not load items that are wider than the roof carrier.WA R N I N G
 Before driving and after traveling a short dis- tance, always check the load to make sure itis securely fastened to the roof carrier.Stop the vehicle periodi
cally and check that
the load remains secure. If the load is not secure, it could fall from the vehicle anddamage your vehicle,
another vehicle or cre-
ate a road hazard.NOTE
 To prevent wind noise or reduction in gas mileage, remove the roof carrier when not in use.  Before using an automatic car wash, check with the attendant to determine if the roofcarrier should be removed.  Be sure that adequate clearance is main- tained for raising the trunk lid during loading luggage on the roof carrier.CAUTION

Spare tire information Compact spare tire
WA R N I N G Tires, including spar
e tire, degrade over
time with age even when they are notbeing used. It is recommended that tires over 6 years generally
be replaced even if
damage is not obvious.
CAUTION While the compact spare tire is stowed, the inflation pressure shoul
d be checked at least
once a month to assure that it remains at therecommended inflation pressure. See the tire and loading informati
on placard attached to
the driver’s door sill. Refer to “Tire and load-ing information placard” on page 11-3. Driving with an imprope
rly inflated tire can
cause an accident. If
you have no choice but
to drive with an under-inflated tire, keep your speed down and av
oid sudden steering
or braking, if possible. Inflate the tire to the correct pressure as soon as possible. Refer to “Tire inflation pressures” on page 9-16. The compact spare tire should be used only temporarily. While th
e compact spare tire is
being used, the tire pr
essure monitoring sys-
tem will not function
properly. Have the tire
replaced or repaired at an authorizedMitsubishi Motors dealer
or a repair facility
of your choice as soon as possible. Do not go over 50 mph (80 km/h) when driv- ing with the compact spare tire. Avoid sudden starting and braking when driving with the compact spare tire. Do not drive through automatic car washes and over obstacles that
could possibly dam-
age the underside of your vehicle. Becausethe compact spare tire is smaller than the original tire, there is less clearance between the ground and your vehicle.
 Because the compact spare tire is designed only for your vehicle, do not use it on anyother vehicle. Do not put the compact spare tire on a differ- ent wheel, and do not put standard tires,snow tires, wheel covers
or trim rings on the
compact spare wheel. Otherwise, you could damage these parts or other parts on yourvehicle. Do not use tire chains with your compact spare tire. Using a chain could cause damage to your vehicle and loss of the chains.
